Roger Federer, twenty-time Grand Slam champion and tennis legend, turns 40 on August 8th. Last year he missed most of the season due to a double operation that temporarily halted his career and forced him into a long absence from the tour.
He has decided to skip the Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome tournament on the calendar and the Swiss champions will return in a few days for a relatively stress-free engagement at the home tournament at the ATP 250 in Geneva.
The idea of the Swiss is to use this tournament to better prepare for Roland Garros, a tournament in which he will certainly not start as a favorite, but in which Roger certainly wants to do well against the best in world tennis.
Roger Federer and his physical condition
Via the EFE agency, the Swiss tennis player has returned to make statements about the next tournament that will arouse the curiosity of millions of fans who are eagerly awaiting his return to the field and clay court.
Here are his words: “I am very excited, I have a great desire to return and I feel like a child ready to return. I feel that my joint is much better.
2021 will be an exciting year as normality is getting closer and closer and this is very important, even if it is very difficult due to the virus that has hit us all for some time 40 years old: The Swiss champion is in the eternal battle for the most Grand Slam titles, in which he and Rafael Nadal lead with 20 titles and Novak Djokovic, the number 1 in the world, follows with 18 titles.
The three, defined as the Big Three, probably represent the greatest tennis players in the sport and together they have achieved an incredible record of 58 Grand Slam titles. These and many other records that have made millions of fans dream in these twenty years and that have shaped a real sporting era. Photo credit: Simply Bestrend
